The Mazda CX-30 is a five-seat compact SUV with petrol engines, front- or all-wheel drive and a cabin that punches above its class. This page explains the powertrain choice, what Exclusive-Line and Takumi give you, and how to pick before you order.
From £418.31 per month inc. VAT
View dealThe Mazda CX-30 is a five-seat compact SUV that puts cabin quality and driving feel ahead of outright space. At 4.40 metres long with a boot of 422 to 430 litres depending on version, it suits couples, small families and drivers who want something a little less ordinary.
It sits among Mazda's smaller SUVs, and feels lower and keener through corners than most rivals of this size.
The choice is straightforward: one SUV body, petrol power from 138 to 183 bhp with manual or automatic and front- or all-wheel drive, and two trims - Exclusive-Line and Takumi.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 5 October 2026.
The CX-30 has been on sale in this form since 2020. Five seats, five doors, a 2.66 m wheelbase and a boot of 422 to 430 litres with the rear seats up, rising to as much as 1,406 litres folded.
Reviewers consistently praise two things: the interior, which is regularly described as feeling a class above its price, and the handling, which is sharper and more engaging than most small SUVs. The criticism is just as consistent - rear seat space and boot volume trail the roomiest rivals, so measure before you commit.
Backing it up is a 6-year / 100,000-mile manufacturer warranty and a 5-star Euro NCAP rating, with 99% for adult occupant protection.
Because the equipment you actually use every day is standard on every CX-30. Adaptive cruise control, a head-up display, built-in navigation, a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a rear-view camera and rear parking sensors are all fitted across the range.
On safety, every version gets autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, traffic sign recognition and automatic high beam. That is a strong list for a car of this size, and it helps explain the 5-star Euro NCAP result.
Practically, you get 5 seats, LED headlights, power-folding mirrors, an electric parking brake and braked towing of up to 1,300 kg. A 10.6 m turning circle makes it easy around town, and servicing falls due every 12 months or 12,500 miles - worth knowing when you're deciding whether to add maintenance to your contract.
There is one fuel to choose from, so the real decisions are power, gearbox and driven wheels. Nothing here plugs in, so charging never enters the picture.
Petrol power runs from 138 to 183 bhp, from a 2.0 or 2.5-litre four-cylinder with a 6-speed gearbox, manual or automatic. WLTP economy is quoted at 42.8 to 49.6 mpg with CO2 of 130 to 148 g/km, and 0-62 mph takes between 8.3 and 10.3 seconds depending on the version.
Front-wheel drive suits most drivers. All-wheel drive is available if you regularly face steep, wet or rural lanes, and it's the version to look at if traction matters more than the last mile per gallon. Torque sits at 238-240 Nm, with insurance groups from 16 to 21.

Two trims, and the gap between them is about comfort and cabin materials rather than basic capability - both are generously equipped before you add a single option.
Exclusive-Line brings 18" silver metallic alloy wheels, adaptive LED headlights, the integrated Mazda navigation system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a leather-wrapped gear shift knob. It also has cloth upholstery, heated front seats, a powered tailgate, keyless entry and start, wireless phone charging, front parking sensors, dual-zone climate control, privacy glass and rain-sensing wipers. The entry version has 138 bhp and front-wheel drive.
The Exclusive-Line is currently available from £320.92 a month.
Takumi adds 18" bright silver metallic alloy wheels, a power tilt/slide sunroof and a heated steering wheel, with the dashboard, door cards and front centre armrest trimmed in rich brown leather. You also gain a 360-degree camera and an electrically adjustable driver's seat. Its entry version has 183 bhp and front-wheel drive.
The Takumi is currently available from £345.76 a month. Against the Exclusive-Line, that is currently £24.84/mo more expensive.
If you want the plusher cabin without moving trim, the Luxury Pack is a factory option adding leather upholstery with interior accents, a heated steering wheel and an 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support and memory. Ten paint colours are offered across the range, from Arctic white to Soul red crystal.

If you're cross-shopping, the Nissan Qashqai and Volkswagen T-Roc cover similar ground, the CUPRA Formentor takes a sportier line, and the Škoda Kodiaq is the one to look at if you need considerably more room.
